CHARLES B. SIILWELL, OF IVAYNE, PENNSYLVANIA.

PAPER-FEEDING MACHINE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 2, 1906.

Application filed April 18 1902. Renewed April 8, 1905. Serial No. 254,530-

10 all wiwntit may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES B. STILWELL, a citizen of the United States of America, residing in Wayne, in the county of Delaware, in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Paper-Feeding Machines, of which the following is a true and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part thereof.

, stant supply of'freshrolls of paper to be successively attached to and continue to feed indefinitely, and its various parts are devised for the purpose of making practicable and convenient the broad general operation indicatedabove.

My machine com rises, in the first place, bearings for a roll 0 paper in use and devices for guiding the paper from said roll through the machine in a definite path, the paper being drawn through these guideways by the paper-using machinery, which forms no part of my present invention, or machine and is not illustrated in the drawings. I

My machine also comprises bearings for a roll of paper to be held in reserve and mechanism for giving to this reserve roll of paper a rotative movement on its bearings which will impart to its peripher substantially the same speed as that with w iich the web in'use is moving through the machine, so that when the web of the reserve roll is attached to the web in use there will be no erk or shock which will tend to tear the paper. In practice I attach the end of the web of the reserve roll to a bar-plate which I call a stick, said stick normally rotating around the bearings for the reserve roll, but being capable of detachment from the rotating mechanism and simultaneous adjustment to carrier mechanism which will bring it in contact with the web of paper from the roll in use so glue being attached to the paper on the stick said paper will be glued fast to the web in use, the carrier mechanism being so constructed and combined with other devices that after it has performed its function in applying the paper on the stick to the web in use it will detach the stick from the paper and carry it to a non-operative position. In practice I find it advisable to impart the rotative movement to the reserve roll through the stick and the web of the paper from the reserve roll attached to the stick, and as the web of paper is incapable of withstanding sudden shocks I set the rotating mechanism in oper-' ation by means of a friction-clutch, connect ing a conveyer-shaft with said mechanism and by means of which the motion to the power-shaft can be gradually communicated to the rotating mechanism, and a gradually accelerating speed thus given to the reserve roll of paper at the same time. It being important that the stick and reserve roll should have the proper determined speed at the time when the web of the reserve roll is at tached to the web'in use I find it advisable to I employ, in addition; to the friction-clutch, a positive clutch by means of which the powershaft can be positively coupled to the rotat- I ing mechanism after said rotating mechanism has reached a proper speed of rotation.

Theoperations whicliltake place in a plying 5,

the web of the reserve rollto the we in use are, in the first place, the cutting off of the I web in use from its roll, in the second place the-application of paste to the end of there serve roll held upon the stick, and in the third place the detachment of the stick carrying the pasted end of the reserve roll from rotative mechanism and its attachment to the carriers which bring it in contact with' theend of the web in use, and I bring all these devices into operation at practically the same time by means brought to operative I position through the decreasing diameter of the roll of paper in use, so that when said roll has reached a determined diameter the paper being nearly exhausted, the cutter, pastel,

too

and the transferring device are automatic- I ally brought into operation, but as these operations should obviously have a definite re-'
